  Bahrain International Circuit will revert to its original layout for its 2011 Formula One Grand Prix, the circuit owner confirmed. This year, the relatively fast turns five and six were replaced by a tighter section that added just over half a mile to the lap distance, but this...

  A war of words between two entertaining combatants has broken out ahead of next month's FIA World Motor Sport Council meeting that will consider the “team orders” allegedly deployed by the Ferrari Formula One team at Hockenheim in July. Ferrari's Felipe Massa was leading ...
